How it works: leave your guess in the comments. There will be two winners: first correct guess, and a random winner. That's right, I said random winner - so even if you don't know (or think someone else already got it), enter anyway, you could still win. And if your guess is funny, it might make my Most Creative Honor Roll.

This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere. C'mon and join in! There is only one rule.

THE ONE AND ONLY RULE

1. UNLESS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS ONE CLICK AWAY IN AN ONLINE PROFILE, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITH YOUR GUESS. (Fun fact: if you only THINK your email is visible in your profile, it probably isn't. Go in there and make sure, okay? Nothing's sadder than a winner disqualified for no contact info!)

Due to massive, overwhelming popular demand (okay, three emails), here's a tutorial for my "Put a Bird On It" upcycled necklace! Remember? The one made from the plastic tube inside a roll of dog poop bags?

PeriwinkleDzyns: obviously, shoe inserts for Leprechauns' little green felt booties - they slide these in at night to help retain the shape. Because Leprechauns spend all day guarding gold at the end of the rainbow, and where there is a rainbow there is rain. And as we all know, felt has to be blocked after it gets wet, from the rain, by the rainbow, yup.

Okay, campers! Let's play a new round of GUESS THE MYSTERY THING! Anyone can play - it's super quick and simple. All you do is take a look at my latest upcycled jewelry project:

Now here's the game: the first person to identify those mysterious red curvy bits wins one of the jewels.

What say ye? Any ideas? I think this is a really tricky one. (Famous last words...)

Hint: it's an upcycled holiday item.

How it works: Leave your guess in the comments. There will be two winners: first correct guess and one random guess. That's right, a random winner! So even if you're stumped, guess anyway - you could still win.

This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere. (You don't even have to be a follower of the blog, although I would lurve it if you were.)

The one and only rule:

1. If your email isn't available in one click from an online profile, please, please, please include your email address with your guess.

Easy, right? Thinking caps on. Ready? Set! Guess the Mystery Thing!

UPDATE: THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR PLAYING, EVERYBODY! REVEAL COMING SOON!

Well, that sure was fun! For the past few days, my readers and I have been playing a new game of GUESS THE MYSTERY THING. A whole buncha people tried to I.D. the mysterious silvery base of my latest upcycled jewelry project:

What do you think? I did give one tiny hint: that the Mystery Thing was something a little bit Old World. And I ventured to predict that the winner would be one of my European readers.

Before we find out if anyone got it, I salute the brilliance of all you fabulous weirdos, who entertain me every time with your ridiculous ideas. Here are this week's HONORABLE MENTIONS FOR THE VERY BEST (TOTALLY WRONG) GUESSES:

Welcome welcome!
